The Equalizer gives Rumble his first real global conversion threat. Before this level, he can win lane pressure; after it, he can turn a pushed wave, a gank, or a Herald contest into a forced fight.
Once Rumble gets enough damage to make Flamespitter truly costly, the opponent can no longer last-hit for free. This window is about winning the wave, not necessarily forcing an immediate all-in.
